Why I wanted to write a series.

I have been reading for decades, and formed a book club
four years ago. We love to read suspense, mostly romantic suspense, but became
hooked on reading series books about three years ago. From the first book where
the characters are introduced up to the last book I become wrapped up in their
lives, and I loved it. I got involved mentally in their activities and their
drama.

Most of the girls in our group work together so it’s easy to talk about
the chapters we’re reading. I remember talking about one of Cindy Gerard’s
books during a break at the clinic. We were grouped around my desk, discussing
how we felt about the kidnapping and who we thought was behind it. Then we
discussed how the agent was really wrapped up in drugs and screwed up the
evidence.We knew our conversation was
about a character, but if you were just walking by I’m sure it sounded like we
were talking about some of our friends or family.

Well, I was pulled into the
office at the end of the day because our office manager thought I had some
problems and needed someone to talk to. He said that one of the nurses heard me
talking and he wanted to know if I needed someone to go with me to the police
station. He was actually concerned that there was a real kidnap victim and
crooked cop. I was touched by his kindness, but also got a good laugh about it.
Note to self, never discuss any erotic stories at work unless I close my door. We might get
more attention then we bargained for.

I decided I wanted to write a series. A big leap for my
first venture into the writing scene, but my mind was running with these
characters and the stories started to write themselves. The Guardian’s of Hope
series has a total of eight books. It’s a formation of FBI Agents, Navy Seals
and Special Ops that form a rescue group for missions the government label
impossible. The first one, Rescued from the Dark, was released February 16 and
the second, Last Chance to Run, should be out at the end of this year. Then there’s
the third one running rampant in my head, screaming for its time. But it will
have to wait a little longer, but not too long.

What if you woke from a nightmare, trapped in a world of darkness, with
no memory of how you got there? Rescued from the Dark is a passionate, gripping
story about FBI agent, Jason Michaels, confronting his duty to his country, and
struggling with his feelings for a woman with no memory of their love.

Undercover Agent,Jason Michael s, infiltrates the terrorist cell and risks
everything, even his life, to save the FBI intern who stole his heart and then
walked away. Once Mercy wakes from her coma Jason struggles with the fact that
she does not remember what happened, but anguishes with the idea that she
believes their unborn child belongs to her ex. Jason soon realizes the
terrorists vow to claim their secrets locked in her memory, no
matter what the cost. In a race against time, Jason and Mercy struggle to fight
their attraction, and put their differences aside, as they launch a manhunt to
save their country and each other.
